The most important thing that will happen when a split congress comes together in 2011 is the selection of leadership positions.

The most important vote that the new congress will begin with is the selection of leadership positions. With Mike Pence | Read More »
Down here in Florida we have a congressional race that epitomizes the battle in the fight to take back America. Ron Klein is the Democrat incumbant in C.D. 22. District 22 is a sliver of land that runs from Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale) to the Palm Beach County line. Ron Klein has held this seat for four years after defeating Republicam moderate E.Clay Shaw. Shaw | Read More »
She defeated a candidate who attempted to paint her as a liberal and tried to destroy her by distorting the truth. That’s exactly the type of candidate I can’t stand. (See Mike Castle) When Rick Scott was successful in that tactic against a true conservative Republican, I was told to shut up and support him because he’s now our candidate. (I have to add, when | Read More »
In the fight of his politcal life Harry Reid once again has stepped up to show he is truly the Democrat’s leader. In a show of that leadership he has broken with the President taking a position against the building of a mosque near ground zero in New York. In doing so Sharron Angle welcomed Harry to the correct side of the issue. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2010/08/17/religion_again_takes_center_stage_in_nevada_senate_race_106782.html However, Sharron | Read More »
This is the most important congressional election in our lifetime. Carl Rove (I am not a big fan of his) said today on Hanity that he projects a gain of 37 seats in the U.S. House this year. That would leave the Republicans as the minority party. http://innovation.cqpolitics.com/atlas/house2010_rr Congressional Quarterly has worse numbers (what else would you expect from CQ?) than that. But what is | Read More »
Three states will choose ccongressional candidates this Tuesday, Missouri, Kansas and Michigan. In two of those states, Missouri and Kansas, they will select new Senatorial Candidates, with the retirement of Sam Brownback (R) KS, and “Kit” Bond (R) MO.

Texas has the first of the congressional primaries taking place this Tuesday, and there are a few interesting races to keep your radar screen. The first race is the District 4 race. The incumbant, Ralph Hall, is a former Democrat who became a Republican and has served the district for many years. One of the issues he has been facing is a constituency that wonders whether he | Read More »

Every time this guy opens his mouth he inserts his very large foot in it. I just saw a great clip from, of all places, Chris Matthews Hardball. I first saw it thanks to Dan Perrin’s Jan 22nd post. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/01/22/matthews_to_grayson_reconciliation_will_not_work_with_senate.html What’s important to take from this confrontation between Greyson and Matthews is that Matthews does everything but call Greyson an idiot, which he seems to be. | Read More »
